Bum Ruffles, Anyone?

Sonia Rose's dress is needing only 3 rows of lavender chiffon bum ruffles to be complete. I believe that the length will be just about right, but it may be too big around. I'll know for sure when she gets here in just 2 more days!

Tomorrow I will be edging 5 white chiffon rectangles to be used as wraps by the bridesmaids. I found a great stitch on my serger--a 3-thread picot edge. It works great. I wished I'd seen that page in my serger workbook when I was hemming Kim's bridal veil.

I've been working on a slideshow for the wedding reception--it also is almost complete. I'm waiting for a few more pictures to arrive. I've borrowed I-don't-want-to-know-how-many-thousands-of-dollars worth of projection equipment from a wonderful, generous and marvelously technically savvy couple from our church. I've had a rehearsal with it & it all seems to work fine. A full dress rehearsal including completed slideshow, laptop, projector, speakers and screen will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a terrific show, if I do say so myself. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

Print Fabric Possibility

Print fabrics are hard for me. I'm afraid they look busy and accenuate curves that are plenty accentuated without any extra help. But since my wardrobe plan calls for a print I've been looking around and I found this one at Vogue Fabrics . It has black, gray, charcoal, pink and purple. I could sure work with it. It's priced right, too--56" wide @ $6.99/yd.
